Roger, I coughed when photographing this thing and it took about 10 minutes to find it.

Carl, It's too big.
Nicely tied. Like others here, my eye sight is starting to go. The cataract on my right (dominant eye) is bad enough that it's affecting my shooting as well as my tying. Still not bad enough for the surgeon though, so I get to keep it for a while longer.
Will you have that one at Albany? See you there.

That fly is not only an amazing feat of dexterity, Carl, but it's beautiful too. Nice job!

Beautiful fly. I love it. I don't see how you could tie it so well, on such a TINY hook.

Carl - The good news is that you can fit close to a thousand of these in a standard fly box. Plenty to share with us at Roscoe.

Ok. The smallest hooks I have are size 22 94840's (Mustad). I tried a bunnyface and partridge fly. You WON'T be seeing a picture.
LOL That thing was
fugly when blown up to image size!
I'll try again later and see if it is postabububle.

That would be great. A tiny flymph thread.
I am going to tie some more, but like I said I am afraid I just got lucky with this one.

Old Hat,
Excellent , believe it or not that Flymph will hunt in the silted in Limestoners here in Pennsylvania . I didn't know that Daiichi made the 1330 that small.

It ain't as pretty as Carl's (as IF!)
Size 22 Partridge and corded Gold Holo Tinsel:
Size 22 Starling and corded Gold Holo Tinsel:
Only had to tie and photograph 6 flies to get 2 I was willing to post.
Carl and I have the ends of the spectrum nailed down, y'all fill in the middle.
